Paediatric sand toe : radiographic, ultrasound and MRI findings of dorsomedial capsular injury.

Hyperflexion injury to the metatarsophalangeal joint of the great toe, referred to as sand toe , can cause significant functional impairment. To our knowledge, there have been no radiological descriptions of this injury in the paediatric age group. Here, we report radiographic, sonographic and MRI findings in a male paediatric patient who sustained a sand toe injury, highlighting structural damage to the dorsomedial capsule and medial sagittal band, and discuss sand toe's favourable prognosis with conservative management.
